Item Description
"Death of the Swan Ballerina" Lladro Figurine.
This vintage, retired Lladro porcelain figurine measures 9.5" x 5". It was sculpted by Vincente Martinez, issued in 1973, and retired in 2001. She dawns intricate details and a beautiful glossy finish. (Disclaimer: this piece is imperfect as it is missing fingers on one hand.)
Lladró was founded in 1953 when Juan, Jose, and Vincente, three brothers born of local farmers and endowed with great artistic talent, formed a small family company in the Valencian village of Almacera, Spain. Since then, Lladro has undergone an amazing metamorphosis from an artisan workshop to a huge firm of international scope enjoying continual growth. The company management has remained in the hands of the Lladro family, the owners of the firm, since its inception. The creative team started out by adapting styles from past eras, but it was not long before certain characteristics appeared that would soon shape what was to become the unique Lladro style.
